I Earvin, E. B.| Wright's Bluff Of what place. Ut util of Samuel Gilman Courtenay. It is our sad duty this morning to announc. the death of one of our moat estimable citi zens, Mr. Samuel Gilman Courtenay. His brief but painfi'l illness terminated fatally at half-past six o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Courtenay was thc son of Mr. Edward S. Courtenay, and was born in Charleston, No? vember 27,1S23. His frat business years were passed in the book establishment of Mr. Bab? cock in King-street, and when ho had acquired a knowledge of the book trade he, in connec? tion with Mr. W"i?nges, bought ont the period i cal and news depot then kept by Mr. Amos Head, at tho south corner of Broad-street and East Bay. He afterwards bought out the interest of hie partner, and, in connection with his brother, Mr. W. A. Courtenay, carried on the business under tho name of Courtenay & Co. It was during this copartnership that the commodious building in Broad-street, now I known as "Courtenay's," wa3 built and occu? pied by tho firm. A few years before the war the partnership between W. A. Courtenay and S. G. Courtenay was dissolved, and from that time to the day of his death the business was coodncted by the latter as Bole proprietor. Mr. Courtenay was fo. many years a prominent, zealous and efficient member of our Fire Depart? ment, and was President of tbe JEtna Fire Com pany. In 1866, he was elected Alderman of Ward No. 2,andproved himself to be an intelligent and vigilant guardian of the interests and fortunes of the city. As a citizen, he was remarkable for his energy,, public spirit and? force of char actor, and in thc various organizations with which he was connected, be fairly earned the reputation of being a working member. The last public occasion on which these character? istics were displayed, was at the recent anni? versary of the Hibernian Society, and many a friend will lecall his kind offices and genial endeavors to render the entertain? ment enjoyable to each and every one present. Thc immcdiato occasion of his last illness was the performance of ono of those acts of philanthropy, for which he was evcr ready. In passing a private residence on Broad-street, about a week ago, his attention was attracted by the confusion and fright which had been occasioned by tho explosion of a lamp. Hastening to the scene of the acci? dent he busied himself actively in averting further damage, and in his efforts became rather heated. On returning to the street ho encountered a current of cold air, to the ef? fect of which is attributed the origin of the congestive chills which caused his death. Thus cut down in tho prime and vigor of his man? hood, his loss will be deeply felt and regretted in om- community, where his life had been recognized by all aa that of a'gocd and emi? nently useful citizen. The funeral will take place kt Graco Church at ten o'clock this morning. * BEGISTBATTOX.-There was considerable ac? tivity displayed at tho different precincts yes? terday, and a number of white voters were en? rolled.

The following order, sustaining the opinion Df Registrar" Carpenter, was made by his Honor Judge Bryan: In tho matter of John G. Grant-In bank? ruptcy-This being tho day appointed by the court for the first meeting of creditors, I sat at the time and place above mentioned, among Dther things for choice of assignee. The only claim proved was that of Hudson & Townsend, attorneys ot law, for abont $175, subject to a deduction, as stated in the deposition, of an unknown sum, supposed to be $15 or $20. These creditors, by their attorney in fact, J. Barrett Cohen, Esq., voted for D. D. McCall, of Benuettsville, S. C., as assignee of said estate. C. P. Townsend, Esq., attorney for the peti? tioner, objected to the appointment on tho ground that Mr. McRae had been recommended by all the Bar, including Hudson & Townsend themselves; had given up other business and de? rated himself to this business; that he has been elected and appointed in all the cases in the district; and that ho is a man of high character, honest and capable, and that to make this case m exception would be disparaging to him, and that the amount due to Hudson ??Townsend is much less than is stated by them, and that their claim is insignificant beside the whole imount of tho debts-about $5000; that tho creditors holding securities represent about 52500. Considering these objections, and that the interest, although that ot the bankrupt is ?LU opposing one, I do hereby certify the facts to the court for its action in the premises, sim? ply adding that Mr. McRae is an efficient as? signee, and that I would appoint him if I had the power. Witness mv hand, this 1st day of April, 1868. ' R. B. CARPENTER, Registrar in Bankruptcy. Duncan D. McCall having been chosen as? signee by the greater part in value and number of the creditors who have proved their debts, ind there being no imputation either upon his character or competency, the judge does not feel himself competent to interfere, and does not interfere.

THE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE GIVEN BELOW of planters during the post season, fully establish all tho advantages claimed lor this well-known FER 'IILIZEB: Received thc highest premium awarded to Fertil? izan by the American Institute of New York, held October, 1867. For full report, with analysis mode by the Com? mittee of the Institute, composed of Dr. C. E. BUCK, Professor J. G. POULE, anil other prominent Chem? ists, see pamphlets. The distinguished feature of this SUPEB-PHOS PHATE from other similar Fertilizers is, that off oj its ingredient* are of aninal origin, ard are either soluble in water, or m a condition to q-uickty become soluble in the soil and be token np by the crop. Contains no inert or mineral materials. The proper relative proportion of the ingredients in MAPES' 8UPER-PHOSPHATE to meet the re? quirements of the Cotton crop on Georgia and South carolina soils, is fully prDved by the experience of planters who testified that wherever applied, even to land noted for rusting cotton, the disease ls entirely corrected, and a healthy, vigorous growth produced. On the samo land Peruvian Guano and other f?rtil z era have failed to secure n healthy growth. REPOSTS FEOM PLASTEES, 1867. For Letters in full see Descriptive Pamphlet. Dr. E. M. ROY AU., Chris: Church Parish, writes: Applied at tho rate of 160 to 200 pounds per acre on 11th April, ou 22 acres blue clay land, a good deal worn from being-planted in cotton from 1837 to 18C7, with only ono year's rest during that time, and not? withstanding the long continued cold and heavy rain, and gales during the spring and summer, about the first of September the crop on this field was estima? ted by some of our best judges to promise a yield of 180 to 200 pounds une Sea Island Cotton Lint to the acre. Notwithstanding th ; ravages of the caterpillar, the first cotton picked was from the field on which M APES' PHOSPHATE was used, and it has made about 66 pounds to the (ere, while no other man. urcd land made over 45pounds. Has used MAPEs' PHOSPHATE on melons; potatoes and the garden with satisfactory results. THOMAS S. SALTED, Washington County, Ga., re ?ori8 that seventy-five pounds per aero on old land icreased both the Cotton and tho Corn three-fold. Considers it far more economical than Peruvian Guano. Dr. E. PABSONB, Sanderuville, Washington County Ga., says: "My observation is that MAPES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE is a preventive against rust in Cotton. Has about doubled the Cotton and trebled the Corn. Bas dono better than Peruvian Guano per pound." J. W. SCOTT, of same section, reports: "That his crop manure 1 with Peruvian Guano was far more effected by drought and excessive rains than where MAPES' SUP ?K-PHOSPHATE was used. Shall use MAPES' in preference to any fertiliser he has Bceu used by his neighbors." W. H. SPARKS, taunto a, Go., reports: "Un land about halt covored with sedge, and which had not been cultivated iu ta o years, when the manure was put on, 'sadly manured, clop would yield two pounds where :he unmanured would yiel 1 one." B. B. HAMILTON, Ameiicus, Ga, reports: "Obtained the most satisfactory results from MAPiS' SUPER-PHOSPHATE, applying it as a top dressing. Considered ts h ive had tho best garden this year in Southwestern Georgia." W. J. ANDEBSON, Fort Volley,Ga., reports: "MAPEs* SUPER-PBOSPHATE has doubled the crop of cotton in every ease reported, and some re? port it has more than doubled their crop. On wheat and oats the results are very satisfactory." D. A. WAENOCK, Beacti Branch, S. C., reports: "On land which always rusted cotton, increased thc crop twofold; SB fine cotton as he has seen this year. Prevented rust Four rows unmanured rust? ed in August. Everything tho MAPES' SUPER? PHOSPHATE was tried on did well. Cotton stood the cold weather In Spring; kept perfectly green, and growed finely; han beat Peruvian (ruano in his neighborhood. Believes it to be the BEST if mure now in use." E. B. LILES, Lilesville, Anson County, N. C., re? ports: "As compared with Peruvian Guano and Baugh's Super-Phosphate, the result was decidedly in favor of MAPES' sUPHE'VPHOSPHATE; attributed, be? yond doubt, to tho fact that tho ravages of the rust were not, by a marked difference, so severe where it was applied os where thc other manures were." JOHN R. HAIB, Mime, S. C. : "Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma? tured at least two wicks earlier where MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used as compared with other Ferblizers applied. MAPES' SUPtB-PHO; PHATK produced li u pounds per acre more Cotton than Rhodes' Super-Phosphate, and 60 pounds per acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan? tity of each. 1E0 pound?, used to the acre, cultivated in thc same manner. M.APES' sUPER-PHOSPHATE more than doubled the yield of Cotton." R. s. YENNING, Christ Church Portsh, S. C., re? torts: "One application, 2)0 pounds MAPES' SUPEB P30SPH VIE, per acre, mado the cotton grow to the height of six feet, whe te it grow only two feet tho year before. Considers MAPEV sCPER-PHOa PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT? TON, and would 6afe.y recommend it to all plant? ers." S. C. MEANS, Spartar.burg, S. C., writes: "Used 240 pounds per acre, applied May 18th, Cau safely .?av never saw a nioie vigorous growth impart ed to cotton from the u*e of any manure. Satisfied the use of MAPEs' sUPEE-PHOSPHATipays hand? somely," Rev. W. A. MEBEIWETHEE, Valle Cruels, ne^r Co? lumbia, S. C., reports: "MAPES' sCPEK-P;iOSPHATE has given perfect satisfaction, and that it permanently improves the soil Has no hesitat on in saying it is thc special manure for the turnip and Irish potato." P. C. PENDLETON, Vildoston, Ga., writes: -MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE has exceedod my most sanguine expectations. The effects ol its use on Corn, Peas and Garden Vegetables was most marked. If it can bu always kept up to the stan? dard it must take the pieference of ali fertilizers ia use." M. B. HDNTEB, Quiiman, Ga., reports: "Applied at the rate of 150 pounds per acre upon every alternate four rows. The result was truly as? tonishing. The manured rows yielded tully double the neighboring alternate rows." TERMS-865 A TON, CASH. TOTE SALES CAN BE ARRANGED FOB, PAYABLE IN fOVEHBEE. H. Vf.
